F**k it i'm going to be naughty (for the rest of the day) for the greater good of my sanity
Going to apply a "trail" license for FULL ESXi so I can backup the VM's on my host. Kill the host! and reinstall with XenServer in the production lol
Bout time, we've been waiting for you to convert to XS.
I've been playing with it on a test server, now time to move to production I think

Happy Father's day!

Just started to refresh my CV, do I put salary expectations on there or leave that to the interview??

I'd leave it off. Too many would filter on that before meeting you. It is easier to sell a salary requirement if they already want to buy you.

that might be a UK thing, but in the US you would never put that. Both it is socially unacceptable (no idea why) and practically it makes no sense since there are so many factors that a number cannot express it.

I have never taken an interview where the company accurately detailed your responsibilities. Putting a salary IMO puts you in a spot where you can't negotiate more for added responsibility. On my most recent interview they asked me how much I wanted and I said I can't apply a number to it because I don't know enough about what the job entails. I asked to meet with the current Director of IT and when he explained everything I applied a number to it.

So this past weekend, I got to tour Georgia's only rum distillery (and one of very few single estate rums in N America)...
...and then, we went and hiked "Georgia's Little Grand Canyon" (Providence Canyon State Park)... it was super perty...

Weird that we've both been to one this year! I went to one in Nicaragua.

I couldn't believe that the tiny one here grows their own sugar cane. #impressed

That is very neat. The one that I visited had their own train line to move all of the sugar.

Quite usual here too... No one likes it, it doesn't make sense, but you are required to do so. HR's are basically looking at that number first - and that's the stupidest thing I can imagine. Never did that myself, but that comes at a price.

That really favors the business and is detrimental to the individual.

Aye - and wasn't Germany one of the countries with the most organized and powerful labor unions? ...

No, in the real world what is good for the goose is good for the gander.... being able to hire good people in sensible ways is good for both parties. Filtering by useless numbers hurts both parties. You can't harm one in a case like this without harming the other.

Which, at least in the US, favour companies while making the poorest feel that they are getting something that they didn't earn. Unions are a powerful way to manipulate those with the least ability to research on their own. Unions favour listed salaries, no compensation for value and demoralizing the individual.
-
@scottalanmiller I know there are completely different views about unions between the US and Europe/Germany. There are some good points about them, at least here, but I don't like them for the most part. Had a really hard time to get a good paying job in the public sector because of the rules made by those unions...
